Go WebOS 📺

A small Go library for interaction with webOS enabled TVs. Tested on LG webOS TV UH668V (webOS version 05.30.20). This is forked from github.com/kaperys/go-webos.

tv, err := webos.NewTV("<tv-ipv4-address>")
if err != nil {
    log.Fatalf("could not dial TV: %v", err)
}
defer tv.Close()

// the MessageHandler must be started to read responses from the TV
go tv.MessageHandler()

// AuthorisePrompt shows the authorisation prompt on the TV screen
key, err := tv.AuthorisePrompt()
if err != nil {
    log.Fatalf("could not authorise using prompt: %v", err)
}

// the key returned can be used for future request to the TV using the
// AuthoriseClientKey(<key>) method, instead of AuthorisePrompt()
fmt.Println("Client Key:", key)

// see commands.go for available methods
tv.Notification("📺👌")

V1.0.0 Goals:

• make the examples runnable
• add Discover method to search local network for tv (if feasable without extraneous dependencies)
• internalize the Dialer
• internalize MessageHandler
• use json.RawMessage for partial decoding of messages instead of github.com/mitchellh/mapstructure
• maybe switch to easyjson
• use standard go errors

Long term goals

I would ideally like to have this on par with PyWebOSTV as far as features.

See examples for usage.
